Support and Stabilization

Providing in-home services designed to promote self-sufficiency

Family Alliance

Family Alliance is a Family Stabilization Team which consists of licensed clinicians and case managers who work with families that are currently involved with the Department of Children and Families. The team works collaboratively with families who are intact and those with a goal of reunification to stabilize, strengthen, and build relationships with community providers, family, peers, and school. Our clinician and case manager conduct home visits up to three times a week, to provide the tools for families to stabilize and work towards their goals and treatment plans.

Referrals are only received from The Department of Children and Families/ Family Networks. A social worker can make a referral to the Family Alliance Program on behalf of a family with an open DCF case.
